Compare WGAT to ATHM, WEBTV or AOL folks, don't compare it to IATV? Why do you say that? This is an extract of WGAT's profile: "Its Channel HyperLinking allows TV viewers to go directly to Web sites associated with TV programs; about 70 TV programmers are HyperLinking partners. WorldGate has received equity investments from its set-top providers, General Instrument and Scientific-Atlanta, as well as from other large and influential investors." If you still think this does not sound as IATV's business, please tell me how I can improve my reading skills. By the way, AT&T owns Liberty Media, and @Home "belongs" to AT&T. Now, IATV is Liberty's choice for interactive TV. It's therefore reasonable to think that soon or later @Home will be powered by IATV's technology. Once again, my question is: Why is WGAT a better company than IATV? To me, it just seems to be a lucky IPO, and a second best choice. __________ Champolion
